Congenital hepatic hemangioma (CHH) is a benign vascular malformation of the liver observed in newborns. Despite its rarity, it is crucial to understand its clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management due to potential complications. This extensive bibliographic review compiles key references to provide a detailed overview of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic options for CHH, aiming to offer a comprehensive insight into this condition.
